Our Care
Heart (cardiovascular) disorders
A heart murmur or a heart condition in a child raises understandable worry. Dr Amir Rasheed assesses and treats heart conditions in children, explains what the findings mean and follows your child over time.
Heart conditions in children
Many heart murmurs in children are harmless, but some point to a heart problem. Listening to the heart, checking pulses, blood pressure, breathing and growth helps tell the difference.
- Heart murmurs
- Congenital heart disease, such as holes in the heart (VSD, ASD, PDA)
- Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
- Signs of heart strain in babies: sweating or tiring on feeds, fast breathing
- Fainting, palpitations and chest pain
- High blood pressure in children
Tests, treatment & follow-up
Tests such as an ECG or an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) may be advised to confirm a diagnosis. Treatment can include heart medicines, support with feeding and growth, and regular preventive antibiotics after rheumatic fever to protect the heart.
Heart surgery and catheter procedures are arranged through referral to a pediatric cardiology center. Follow-up at the clinic keeps track of your child’s growth, medicines and general health before and after.
When to go to emergency instead
Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away if your child has blue or grey lips or skin, faints during exercise or activity, has chest pain with breathlessness, or is struggling to breathe.
